Deputies have arrested two suspects they say went on a two-day robbery spree through northwest Harris County last week.

Tracy McLaughlin was charged with one count of aggravated robbery and Sean Brady were charged with three counts of aggravated robbery.

According to Assistant Chief Mark Herman with Precinct 4 Constable’s Office, the suspects robbed two Walgreens stores in the middle of the day and a Chevron gas station twice over two days.

The suspects were arrested March 22 while fleeing from a gas station in the 8700 block of Spring Cypress Road. A clerk told police the person who attempted to rob him was inside a vehicle that was leaving the parking lot onto Champion Forest Drive.

According to investigators, Cpl. Hales with the constable’s office and other units stopped the vehicle with Brady and McLaughlin inside. The clerk later identified Brady as the suspect who had approached him outside the store and pointed a handgun at him, demanding money. The clerk refused to comply and fled from the suspect on foot. That’s when the suspect entered the gas station and attempted to open the cash register, but was not successful and fled, according to deputies.

The suspects were transported to the Cypresswood Sub-Station for processing. While searching Brady and McLaughlin, both were found to be in Possession of Controlled Substances and drug charges were also filed, said Herman.

Further investigation and law enforcement intelligence revealed that Sean Brady was also responsible for other Aggravated Robberies over the past 48 hours in the area.

Constable Deputies have presented photo spreads to the other robbed locations and complainants picked out the suspect Sean Brady as robbing them at gun point at locations include Walgreens store at 7304 Louetta Road, Walgreens store at 19302 Kuykendaul

and a Chevron Gas Station at 19704 Kuyendaul, which was robbed two times in a two day period.

Both Brady and McLaughlin were booked into the Harris County Jail with their initial court appearance scheduled for March 24.
